We have not loved You with a whole heart fervently; neither have we loved our neighbor as ourselves. We have not done justly, nor loved mercy, nor walked humbly with You, our God. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out our iniquity. Create in us a clean heart, O God; renew a right spirit within us. Cast us not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from us. Restore unto us the joy of Your salvation; uphold us with Your free Spirit.

By His wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2.24 Prayer of Intercession/Offertory Prayer Dr. Deison 8:00 Dr. Russell 9:30 Mr. Scruggs 11:00 2

9 Order of Worship for the Home The Week of February 22, 2015 Praise Call to Worship (everyone together) I will extol You, my God King, bless Your name forever ever. Every day I will bless You praise Your name forever ever. You Are My All in All Rejoice, the Lord Is King (read or sing these words together) Please see the hymns on page five. Hearing Learning God s Word Scripture Reading: John (one person read the Scripture aloud) Questions for Discussion (may be answered in one worship time or spread over several times) 1. What is worship? 2. Why do Jesus the woman at the well end up talking about worship? 3. What does verse 23 teach us about true worshipers? 4. What does it mean to worship in spirit truth? 5. How can knowing that God seeks worshipers bless our worship? Questions for older children 1. Is the woman Jesus is talking to someone God is seeking to become a worshiper? 2. What does this teach us about who God pursues to worship Him? 3. How does this whole story impact your worship of God? Scripture Memory for February: (memorize these verses of Scripture this month) John So Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son shows Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater works than these will He show Him, so that you may marvel. Prayer Prayer (saying together) Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the Kingdom, the power the glory forever. Amen. 9
